Layla (Unplugged) - Eric Clapton
This is about George Harrison's wife, Pattie. She and Clapton began
living together in 1974 and married in 1979. Clapton and Harrison
remained good friends, with George playing at their wedding along with
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Clapton left her for actress Lory Del
Santo (with whom he had his son, Conor) in 1985. In an article
published in The Guardian December 13, 2008, Pattie said: "I
wasn't so happy when Eric wrote 'Layla,' while I was still married to
George. I felt I was being exposed. I was amazed and thrilled at the
song - it was so passionate and devastatingly dramatic - but I wanted
to hang on to my marriage. Eric made this public declaration of love. I
resisted his attentions for a long time - I didn't want to leave my
husband. But obviously when things got so excruciatingly bad for George
and me it was the end of our relationship. We both had to move on.
Layla was based on a book by a 12th-century Persian poet called Nizami
about a man who is in love with an unobtainable woman.
The song was
fantastically painful and beautiful. After I married Eric we were
invited out for an evening and he was sitting round playing his guitar
while I was trying on dresses upstairs. I was taking so long and I was
panicking about my hair, my clothes, everything, and I came downstairs
expecting him to really berate me but he said, 'Listen to this!' In the
time I had taken to get ready he had written "Wonderful Tonight."

Pick up your guitar and play this and get ready as all eyes will be on
YOU.
It is simply one of the most well known acoustic riffs. Known and loved
by all who hear it
Eric fooled nobody when he belted out the first few bars on his
acoustic. We all recognised this famous riff.
Contains the main themes in a revised beginners style (which has had
all barres removed) plus the first lead section.
Specially Arranged so that even a relative beginner can play a passable version
The very
difficult 'A' shape barres which have prevented many people from
learning this otherwise very playable song, are no longer a problem
with this arrangement.
I have removed all those big barres to produce a much easier
version than those you'll find 'tabbed' on the internet
